On fine Autumn days like this we like to walk. Jack is the perfect excuse to walk and does so nicely for a 10 month old puppy, greeting people on the street without jumping and patient about being fussed over. Jack has one agenda during our walks and I have another. His is to smell anything and everything… and mine is to find something to capture in my camera. I don’t look for anything specific… just record what I find. Here’s what we found on our walk up North Street in Georgetown, Massachusetts: a spooky house, a ghost in a tree, several trees with faces, fall leaves, a dog in a birch tree, a flag in the breeze… among other things…

Ghost in the tree… a spooky figure in a hooded robe.

A spooky house appears abandoned… but, getting closer showed…

… a colorful object in the window suggests an unlikely resident.

A tree with a face.

A bittersweet wreath in the shadows.

A tree with a number of faces… a large one at the bottom looking left with a puffy cheek… a small face just below and to the right of the large one… a profile on the right side of the trunk (by the white cloud). At the top there appears to be a man standing with arms outstretched.

The beauty of the day reflecting in the water of a creek on North Street.

The true colors of fall leaves are revealed!

The most amazing found object… a complete dog in the bark of a birch tree.

Only days from an election… the American flags are everywhere.

Jack agrees that there are good smells on North Street. We’ll be back. :)

Chaos theory

Redbud in the rain

Redbuds in the rain outside the Air & Space Museum – Washington DC

An anticipated trip to Photoshop World in Washington DC this spring had a few unexpected twists… but then, what trip does not? The conference has moved from Boston to Orlando and now to DC… and in perfect time for the early arrival this year of the Cherry Blossoms!! Were there Cherry Blossoms? YES! Are these the blossoms (above)? NO. The famous blossoms were where they always are… around the Tidal Basin near the Thomas Jefferson Memorial… beautiful in all their glory! And… mobbed by what had to be around 300,000 people… all wanting to stand and take their pictures in the very spot that I was standing. A few moments… a few clicks and I fled to find my (nearly invisible to everyone else) dumpster with it’s rusting illusions of desert scenes and chipped paint that looked like turtles or bison depending on your personal vision! The circus of the Tidal Basin and it’s attractions had lost it’s appeal (at least at that time of day!) by the time we waded our way through the picnickers, kite-flyers, cell phone snapping Buddhist monks, men on stilts, port-a-john cleaners, tourists from every country on the planet and maybe one or two other planets… and a pews worth of brides and grooms… and found a DC cab to whisk us away. The next day the rains started and the Air and Space Museum was filled with (I swear!) the exact same crowd at the Tidal Basin… but… they had had additional children by then!!! The number of strollers had increased by a factor of at least 6! The distraction of having a conference was welcome. Perhaps DC is the place to hold this massive download of technical information after all.
